Handle is elk; the butt coming from a different antler than the rest of the handle. Hardware is wrought iron and copper.

Thanks for LKing!

Thanks Jerry! The customer wished to preserve some of the pitting that was on the steels surface, when the blade was ground. I started with that and tried to pick colors and shades that would compliment the blade. This is the first time I "stacked" an antler section with a separate crown. Nice for a dagger or the like. I'll try that again.

That's really one to be proud of!

The fact that it was something he had made specifically, to be passed along in his family, made it an enjoyable build. Rewarding.
